Blimey. Anything I do with wood usually splits in several parts.


This will be a really interesting build and look forward to seeing the results. Best wishes and well done for having a go.

Have all those formers and parts been laser cut these days? Looking at your first photo set, it looks like it - that'll save you a lot of tears if it has!

On the newer kits they would be but this one is an older kit and every thing is printed witch makes for more of a challenge

Great start and choice Peter, I built this and RC'd many years ago, sailed and looked superb.

I am on a mission to finish all my started kits and this ones next on my hit list.


I have just spent the last three days planking the hull and have just completed it and used a lot of filler on it so it still looks a mess.


But sanding is up next
